Siddhappa Nala( Irrigation canal) is located between Siddhappa hillocks -Sagroli and Bolegaon ( 6 km). Inadequate rain fall and indiscriminate use of water, rendered ground water levels fall below accessibility . Consequently, people had been facing the drought for the past three years . Committed to Social responsibility the SSM explored every possibility to develop sustained water resources
The
canal was rejuvenated by widening & deepening
measures . Farmers contributed physical labor
to certain extent. Nala is 10 feet deep 20 feet wide and 6 kms long. Doha Model
of reservoirs were structured to hold water in larger bulk.. Each Doha is capable of storing 7500 liters of water. As
a result, nearly 200to300 acres of agricultural land came under irrigation and
100 farmers got benefited through venture.
